The patch requires to update the drivers which use mctrl_gpio:
- atmel_serial
- mxs-auart
- clps711x

Please test it again on the platforms above.
Compile tests (next-20150204) and a test on mxs (i.mx28)
hardware were done only.

Changes since RFC v2:
 - fixed mctrl_gpio_request_irqs(): just calling mctrl_gpio_free_irqs()
   on failure was wrong idea because free_irq() would be called for not
   requested irqs yet and kernel/irq/manage.c: free_irq(): __free_irq():
   WARN: "Trying to free already-free IRQ %d" would appear
 - fixed mctrl_gpio_is_gpio() inline function:
   1. allow to compile when CONFIG_GPIOLIB is not defined
      (inline is not broken, reported by Richard Genoud),
   2. now a serial driver also can be a module
      (exported function used),
   3. gpios can be NULL (protected in mctrl_gpio_to_gpiod())
   It calls mctrl_gpio_to_gpiod() which likely can be removed and
   replaced by simpler mctrl_gpio_is_gpio()
 - IRQ_NOAUTOEN setting and request_irq() atomic issue commented in the
   code (thanks to Uwe Kleine-K?nig) despite other drivers do the same
 - removed (clean up) useless comment "return -ENOTSUP" from
   mctrl_gpio_request_irqs() inline function, it shouldn't return any
   error if serial_mctrl_gpio.h is just a stub, ie. CONFIG_GPIOLIB not defined
 - fixed mctrl_gpio_request_irqs(), mctrl_gpio_free_irqs(),
   mctrl_gpio_enable_ms(), mctrl_gpio_disable_ms:
   if "gpios" is NULL just return without any error. Serial drivers don't fail
   on probe(), just warns, if mctrl_gpio_init_dt() returns NULL or an error.
 - updated the documentation on mctrl_ helpers: Documentation/serial/driver
